Artyom Alekseevich Primak (Russian: Артём Алексеевич Примак; born 14 January 1993), also spelled Artem Primak, is a Russian long and triple jumper. He was the 2012 World U20 Championships silver medallist in the triple jump, and he is a four-time Russian Athletics Championships winner in the horizontal jumps.
Biography
[edit]Primak is from Amur Oblast, Russia, where he graduated from the Amur Regional Sports School in 2010 and was coached by Sergey Petrenko.[2]
In 2012, Primak was selected to represent Russia at the World U20 Championships in the triple jump. Primak won the silver medal, losing only to future Olympic gold medalist Pedro Pichardo.[3] He also won the triple jump bronze medal at the 2013 European U23 Championships.[2]
In 2017, Primak set personal bests in both the long and triple jump at the Russian Athletics Championships. He was benefited by the absence of Alexander Menkov, who chose to focus on the world championships instead, allowing Primak to take the win in both events.[4] Coming off of this success, he applied to compete internationally as an Authorized Neutral Athlete (following the ban of Russian athletes by World Athletics), but his application was rejected in 2018.[5]
In May 2021, Primak was finally approved to compete internationally as a neutral athlete.[6]
Primak also won the 2022 All-Russian Summer Sports Spartakiade with a 7.84 metres mark.[7]
Primak won the 2023 Russian Athletics Championships in Chelyabinsk with a mark of 7.89 metres.[8] He now competes representing the Krasnodar and Khabarovsk regions, and focuses primarily on the long jump.[2]
